About this person
Going into the 2010 Games, they had amassed multiple world-record scores in international competition, leading one American journalist to call them "rock stars in the horse world". After the World Equestrian Games, Totilas was sold to German trainer Paul Schockemöhle. Gal continues to be successful, training and competing dressage horses at the international level. Despite the success, he has been criticised to be a harsh trainer who creates stressed and fearful horses.
